The moment they countered with the 75 yard pass I knew it was over. They stole the momentum and never gave it back.

After three good quarters we finally hit our rhythm and played some classic Husker football. At least I've learned not to get excited.

For real as soon as that happened, I went outside and started to do some yard work. MR raised the floor, but he's not a coach that will have us consistently ranked without more help with game management. Like, whether or not he called that play or the defensive coordinator, like... Use common sense. Down 10+ in the fourth and Indiana has struggled to run, but has had a few big pass plays, what's the smart bet on defense? Two safeties, keep everything in front.

That is on coaching, and Nebraska has struggled with that since Bo left

If you walked away from a game up by 4 against a top 10 opponent then you are not a fan

You've shown more interest in this Reddit comment section than you did in the game itself

Do you have a coherent point or anything to actually say? No?
